We consume natural resources daily without a second thought. What happens when these resources become depleted, our environment too taxed to provide? This is big picture stuff, but at Wrappily, we're sensitive to waste.

Like the waste that is created from an estimated 227,000 miles of wrapping paper used and discarded in one holiday season.

We believe that every person makes a difference. Every. Person. If one person chooses Wrappily this holiday season or shares our product with others, it makes a difference. Together, we can make a bigger difference. An estimated 30 million trees are cut down to wrap our gifts each year. It's startling! (Not to mention a threat to the very air we breathe.)

Wrappily offers a smarter solution for our environment. Give us a try. There's nothing to loose but a big pile of trash headed straight for the landfill. After all, who actually wants to contribute to the Great Holiday Waste Problem?

Leave that stuff where it is and read on...
